If you love history then Lancashire has a lot in store for you

Ever since my high school days, I have always been interested in history and its offerings. I have always found myself attracted towards cities and towns that boast of their historical beginnings and archeological remains. It may seem strange to others but to be honest I really enjoy seeing historical ruins. It gives me an unexplained high when I see remains from ancient towns and kingdoms. I wander in my own sweet world of imagination, positioning myself amongst those who lived and encountered the glorious periods of history. Its nirvana sort of, something that helps me rejuvenate and it is this love for history that takes me from place to place.

My love for history has taken me to places. I have visited India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and England, looking for more fodder to fuel my imagination and much to my surprise all these places are filled with historical spots that are going to leave an admirer of archeology like me with asking for a lot more. While all these places have their own distinct culture and offer great variety in terms of what one can see and learn, it was this small county in England that inspired me the most.

If you are wondering which place I am talking about, then it is Lancashire in England that inspired me the most. This non-metropolitan county in the North West of England is a small place that has a great historical relevance. Primarily established for administration by the Normans, Lancashire holds historical intones of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Shires. 

I learnt that small counties like Lancashire were primarily the center for administration of justice, collection of taxes and reuniting of military. Given its Anglo-Saxon beginnings, the place and its culture still hold a very strong resemblance to the tradition followed in the ancient times. One can still find artifacts of the ancient times in the local museums and go around the city that has buildings and markets that retain the ancient architecture. In fact, some of the luxury hotels in Lancashire are a real good treat to the eyes as they are originally palaces that have been converted for commercial reasons.         

My stay was in fact an added treat as I had put up in similar luxury hotels in Lancashire and therefore had a lot to see and experience in terms of the archeological offering from the city. This could in fact be the reason why I loved Lancashire most in comparison to all the other historical places I visited.
